His mother lived in Indonesia while he was raised by his grandparents in Hawaii at the age of ten.

By the way, television reports say that she is close to death.

The lack of compassion here on this matter is very, very, sad. Again, this is one issue that should be off-limits.

Reports are that she is very close to death, yet he can’t get there to see her until later in the week. As I understand it, he has only seen her once in the last 20 months, and you want to talk to me about my lack of compassion?

He lived and went to school in Indonesia for three or IIRC four years.

How come you’re so concerned that people are being “mean” to Obama?

By the way, television reports say that she is close to death.

And we all know how truthful the TV reports have been during the campaigns. (And if she does die, RIP. Biden's MIL died too recently. God works in mysterious ways.)

Since when do we here at FR believe “television reports.” They are just reporting what the Obama campaign has told them. Obama is a blatant liar and I don’t believe a word he says about anything.

IF she is close to death He needs to get to her side immediately, not stop in INdiana which isn't going his way (Too many Operation Chaos votes in the Spring)

If she’s close to death, he’s in Florida today campaigning. He’s a sociopath with no feelings for others.
